There is tons of information to share and lots of myths to dispel around lithium ion battery care, but we'll start with the overnight questions.

The answer is no, you cannot harm a device by leaving it plugged in overnight. Lithium Ion battery charging follows a very strict profile, and the final phase of the process is to cease all charging - there is no trickle charge or anything going on once the battery hits 100% charge, because lithium ion batteries have no tolerance for being even slightly over-charged.
